Window Wind Noise an easy fix? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I got my tint done today and now I hear the wind every now and then when I'm on the highway. Is there something easy to fix? I tried pressing on the rubber seal (near the front on the window), and it seemed to lower the amount of wind leak, but when I let go, it goes back to normal.

do i need to buy a new part or rubber stopper?

Did it make the noise before you had the windows tinted? Mine are tinted and I did not have that problem at all. Tinting the windows should not cause any noises to appear. If it's something they did while tinting the windows then I would take it back to the person that tinted them.

No, it did not make the noise before I had it tinted.

But like my other threads with problems I'm now facing after having things installed, I have no proof. And the people were really nice too. I don't want to make a big scene.

If all else fails, does anyone know how to fix this?

The above spot where I mentioned cuts down on the wind noise when pressed is located on this pic, but on the driver side:

It's hard to tell by the photo what you are trying to point out. Is it the left pillar trim or something else?

its like the little rubber piece that presses against the glass and is connected to the car. i would try and take a picture but its night outside, my phone's flash isn't that great.

Sometimes when tinting window they use a tool to tuck in the rubber weather stripping so they can get the tint down below it... I wonder if they damaged that or maybe its still stuck down... Hate to say it because i know you shouldnt do it but you could try to roll the windows all the way down and see if anything looks damaged.

thanks guys. I think what chevyguy_72 pointed out is exactly what they did. I was watching and they had to get the tint under the window out. i remember him sticking a tool under the rubber. I'm hoping its not damaged and just positioned weird. ill check tomorrow when its day
